FQA140N10 N-Channel QFET® MOSFET
This N-Channel enhancement mode power MOSFET is
produced using Fairchild Semiconductor’s proprietary planar
stripe and DMOS technology. This advanced MOSFET
technology has been especially tailored to reduce on-state
resistance, and to provide superior switching performance and
high avalanche energy strength. These devices are suitable
for switched mode power supplies, audio amplifier, DC motor
control, and variable switching power applications.

Datasheet Identification Product Status Definition
Advance Information Formative / In Design Datasheet contains the design specifications for product development. Specifications
may change in any manner without notice.
Preliminary First Production
Datasheet contains preliminary data; supplementary data will be published at a later
date. Fairchild Semiconductor reserves the right to make changes at any time without
notice to improve design.
No Identification Needed Full Production Datasheet contains final specifications. Fairchild Semiconductor reserves the right to
make changes at any time without notice to improve the design.

ANTI-COUNTERFEITING POLICY
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation’s Anti-Counterfeiting Policy. Fairchild’s Anti-Counterfeiting Policy is also stated on our external website,
www.Fairchildsemi.com, under Sales Support.
Counterfeiting of semiconductor parts is a growing problem in the industry. All manufactures of semiconductor products are experiencing counterfeiting of their
parts. Customers who inadvertently purchase counterfeit parts experience many problems such as loss of brand reputation, substandard performance, failed
application, and increased cost of production and manufacturing delays. Fairchild is taking strong measures to protect ourselves and our customers from the
proliferation of counterfeit parts. Fairchild strongly encourages customers to purchase Fairchild parts either directly from Fairchild or from Authorized Fairchild
Distributors who are listed by country on our web page cited above. Products customers buy either from Fairchild directly or from Authorized Fairchild
Distributors are genuine parts, have full traceability, meet Fairchild’s quality standards for handing and storage and provide access to Fairchild’s full range of
up-to-date technical and product information. Fairchild and our Authorized Distributors will stand behind all warranties and will appropriately address and
warranty issues that may arise. Fairchild will not provide any warranty coverage or other assistance for parts bought from Unauthorized Sources. Fairchild is
committed to combat this global problem and encourage our customers to do their part in stopping this practice by buying direct or from authorized distributors.
